tubes

If a patient has a newly inserted PEG tube, after flushing it, is it normal for there to be some very thin watery liquid with a yellow-green tint (doesn't look purulent). Like as in gastric juices? When I flushed, the flash flowed back out alogn with some of the liquid i described. I'm thinking that happens until the stomach gets "used to" the feed

yes......the things you'd expect to see with an NGT can be expected to be seen with a PEG. the only difference is the point of entry. :smokin:

i was told by a nurse that you always measure residual first before putting meds thru a PEG, but when my clinical teacher was showing me how to put meds thru she didnt do it.

and if you do measure residual how much would you have to pull out in order to not give the medication?
